Greetings Everyone~!
I come to you with an update.
I posted my first growth animation online and out into the world in 2016!! With the “Runner gets an instant muscle growth pill”~
Ever since then, I’ve striven hard to improve and deliver stories of our shared muscle growth fantasies~
Some of you have been there the whole way, some most of the way, and some just joined. I cannot even begin to express my gratitude for you all. You have been fueling this artist to let his imagination fly and keep making guys grow huge :)
There have been many many sleepless nights (especially near the end of a project), and moments of potentially giving up when there felt like there was pressure, so I appreciate the patience some of you have had.
As part of the special anniversary milestone, I would like to announce new things in the works :)
If you haven't already, the video should give a brief overview of some things. The rest of this post however will give more details on said things.
Next Main Anim
First off will be the sequel to Main Anim 19. This will be my first true sequel animation.
The story is already laid out. It is shorter and meant to compliment the first part. But because of this, it should not take as long to come out as Anim 19. Also, I know some of you will wonder about voting. Well, voting will resume after that next animation. And there is something else happening that might ease that wait a bit, and that is the upcoming point ^^
3 Commissions (Based on Selection)
A lot of people have asked, and now there will be a chance you can get your own idea made as a commission! These are just a limited time thing as part of the 10 year celebration, and only 3 will get chosen. They will have the length of around a Mini Animation.
More details about this will come soon in the future, so get your idea hats on in the meantime, and think of ideas that will get me to go: “Now THAT should be animated” ^^
New Creation Processes
I talked a little about this recently, but I have started changing some of the way I do things during a production. To overall get a better look for the video in the end. The Shading process is one such thing I had mentioned I have been trying to train myself to create in a certain way.
But I had not mentioned the 3D assets yet. You may have noticed, ANIM 19 had actual 3D environments alongside my traditional 2D animation. The integration for such a thing had a bit of a learning curve, but I do believe it is worth it, as I can be more creative with camera work and the gestures of drawings because of it. Needless to say, I will be trying to incorporate it more in future Main Anims. I hope you have liked it so far~
New Website
A big point!! ^^
I have a new home live now where my stuff can be seen at!
If you support me on there, more of your support will go directly to me, at no extra cost to you~!
You may wonder if I am moving to just post on the site. But no, there are no plans currently to only post from there.
The content I will mirror with Patreon. It even has the same Tier Levels and access. If you are an existing patron you may notice the prices for the tiers changed. Newcomers have already seen this change here on Patreon for a while now. It will all eventually move to that. I hope this is understandable. The only tier that has not had a price change is the Animation Idea Tier.
The site is better organized, as I have way more control on how to display things! I hope you enjoy it~! And there is always the benefit of adding and updating it even more as time goes on! Perhaps more social features, or something like that.
Polls are going to work this way: The total votes from the poll on the Website and the poll on Patreon will be added up together to get the actual final result.
So without further ado, give it a browse and let me know what ya think! :)
I'll be here after posting this for a bit to answer questions.
The Rest of the Year
I am hoping to do some more celebratory offerings throughout the year! At some point I want to add Character Bios to the site.
In any case, thank you all again for these opportunities.
Looking forward to seeing what the Main Anims 20 Series will be! :)
